Durban elderly give President Ramaphosa the thumbs up

Elderly residents in Durban have given thea thumbs up. Topping their wish list is safety of the elderly, elimination of drugs and other social ills. They spoke to SABC News from John Dunn House in Austerville, south of Durban.

It was a Saturday morning filled with smiles and tales of yester years. Now in the prime of their lives, they have lived through apartheid and also tasted freedom since 1994.Narainsamy Naidoo says: “In apartheid, whites gave us a hard time. We carried on, I overlooked it. The message is poverty, jobs, create all that – people are living in the bush, on the street. There is no food, no work. I’m free now. We are not worried because we are free.

Although they did not travel to Pretoria, they made sure to watch the Presidential inauguration proceedings on television.
